"Well, good and poor. I like the design, and it looks lovely now I've painted it. But the instructions were extremely poor. Really unhelpful. I used the picture on the website to work out how to put it together.
Also - one of the wooden slats was cracked. I kept it because of the hassle of returning - it was easier to fix it than return, but I'd rather it had been in tact.
The screws and hinges were extremely poor quality - I went to Wilko's and bought some better ones.
The lid design isn't very clever - I had to caulk underneath it to make it waterproof. The holding slats for the lid also drop down too far - I inserted screws in the side to make rests for them.
So - overall: really not worth sixty quid but I wanted a small, wooden composter without having to make one from scratch and this was the only one on the marked, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't mind buying extra bits, doing extra work and feeling a bit ripped off..."

"Compost bin arrived without any screws or instructions, and I wanted to get it set up, so we found some of our own to use and figured out construction."

"This is easy to construct although the pictures in the instructions are not helpful and there is a contradiction in the instructions where it talks of a back panel with hinges and there aren't any hinges on the back panel, they're actually on the roof.

It's a good size composter for a small garden but it could definitely be more solidly made. One slat has already come loose from the frame (I've been using it one day) and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I have to replace the hinges for more substantial ones. It's doing the job I bought it for but it's not particularly good value for money."

"Happy with product now constructed, but one side of the composter had a support piece of wood hanging off and the roofing sections needed prizing apart as they were stuck"

"I would have put 'Not bad' if there were a similar option. It looks smart, but the hinges are weak. Having said that I might buy another one in future, if I can't find another one that looks as good."
